old soul

*You think you need to have your life together by now, but it’s a lie. You’ll flounder in the search for meaning – and if there are those who seem perfect, they’re not. This is the journey of life and frustration and uncertainty are part of the ride. I’m 47 and still question and dismantle, as needed. You’re not a loser if you don’t answer every demand of society or your parents. As much as there is an increasing openness, you’ll find the same b.s. rules that applied to me 20 years ago still apply to you. Such as: an explanation of who you are and what you’re doing with your life, have a paying job/title, a baby/marriage by 30, etc. Much of this is not even based on you but other people’s discomfort. Yes, you may work in the trenches to learn about contrast or travel the world and come home enlightened — but self discovery is a lifelong process.

*Many of you who come to me for sessions are old souls and know exactly why you’re here. That doesn’t mean you are aware of this as a 20-something human. Part of the quest is to discover your gifts and apply them in service. You don’t need to do woo work like me, but service is the core of everything good. You’ll more than likely try unconventional jobs and not settle down for awhile. Some of you will right away and that’s great, too. Stay focused on self-knowledge and pursuit of a greatness that benefits society.

*You never know someone else’s karma, so observe those who seem “unspiritual” with curiosity. They may be Ascended Masters in disguise. Focus on your healing and consult with a gifted astrologer about your 1st Saturn Return. Don’t convince anyone of anything, especially when it comes to metaphysical stuff. You can’t prove it, so save energy and draw in high-vibe friends who support you on the path. You are here to fulfill your dharma, but no one can tell you what that is. That puzzle is yours alone.

*Always make time for solitude and nurturing your soul through Nature. Being able to see the stars and experience the quiet is a rare gift in this world. There’s no app to replace that. When you make friends with your loneliness, you’ll discover true power. Be your own champion instead of being addicted to external validation.

*Ask for help. No matter how independent you are, it makes you a stronger person to reach out when you need it. Be wise from whom you ask it. The world is full of amazing healers. Learn to recognize them.

*I think your generation is amazing. Thank you for demanding better food accountability in the corporate world and being veg/vegan to bring balance and compassion to the food chain. Not everyone thinks you are lazy and entitled (people always say that shit about younger generations ;). You came here with a higher consciousness and the capacity to heal the world. That’s in large part from the those who loved the planet and wanted a better life for you. Be sure to remember and acknowledge their influence and do the same for future generations.

*Money is the currency of this world, but it isn’t everything. Balance is key. Kindness opens doors. Having a generous spirit and strong intuition protects you. Like Paulo Coelho says, Love everybody but never sell your sword.
